Can you answer daryllizmckinney’s question about Surveillance?:
I need a lot of help. I’m going to buy a Security Camera DVR and want to make it to where I can see it from my internet. I know nothing about networking. If someone can give me step by step instructions that would be great. The computer system I’m working with is an XP. Like I said I have no clue at what to do. If someone knows what they are doing can you help. I understand that there is a lot of things that can make this a dificult process.

Surveillance Feedback: Get this utility first:
Secure Cam
is a motion detecting web cam surveillance software that can automatically capture a series of images whenever motion is detected in the monitored area. You can adjust the detection sensitivity, automatically archive captured still images and playback the images in sequence with the supplied viewer application. Secure Cam can monitor and display up to 99 cameras and automatically organizes captures based on the device. Other features include support for multiplexing, time stamps, text overlay and more. The program works with webcams, as well as DVR cards.

Create a restore point, then install the above.
Look in the ‘Help’ files for the application, they usually have sufficient material to get you going.
Surveillance Feedback: What you are going to need to do is once you get the security camera DVR installed you will need to open up some ports on your router and make sure you foward them to the DVR inside your network. I can help you with this but you will need to answer some questions for me…
1) What type of router do you have?
2) Do you have a static IP address from your ISP?
